My Red Sox source told me that, this could be a 5 to 6 player trade. With either Danks or Floyd along with Quentin to the Red Sox and some of the players that KW wants back is Reddick, Ranaudo, Igelsias and Doubront.

 

he also said that they been working on this all day..

Hmmm

Bedard at 4.5 isnt that bad for the Pirates.

I complained about the lack of excitement this off-season and hoping that the Winter Meetings would ramp it up a bit. So far the biggest story has been the Santos trade and that was hardly a blockbuster.

 

No crazy trades, None of the Big 4 Free Agents signed (Pujols/Fielder/Buehrle/Wilson) Come on baseball!

 

How is Reyes not part of the Big 4? Pujols and Wilson deals are on the verge.

Nope, that's a very good signing. If he stays healthy and Pirates aren't in contention, he'll be a good trade chip.

Word is Ranaudo is overrated. He'd be a good piece, but I hope KW doesn't treat him like an elite prospect

My source also said, that the Red Sox won't trade Middlebrooks or Brentz for 2 players with only 1 year contracts...

Never heard of KW being fascinated with Ranaudo. The key with Kenny is to always keep in mind guys he targeted. That's biggest reason I think he'll try to get Grandal.

Well Gavin Floyd is signed for more than 1 year.

He signed before the meetings started.

Well Gavin Floyd is signed for more than 1 year.

 

The Red Sox want Danks more than Floyd..

Thanks Mr Obvious!

You can keep Middlebrooks.

I'd love me some Reddick on this team. If we can swing it, I'd love to see something like this happen. good stuff.

If you're KW and giving up Quentin and Danks, you should be asking for Lavarnway. All I know is that if the roles were reversed and KW was going after two above average veterans, he'd be giving up a lot more than Reddick and Ranaudo.

No to all those guys if it were me. Kalish and Lavarnway are better long-term options, IMO.

Thanks Mr Obvious!

 

I can actually see them wanting Floyd more for the extra year. Think of all the wasted cash they have in Lackey. If Ortiz accepts arbitration, they don't have much space until the luxury tax, which I read Gammons said they want to avoid at all costs.

I would love to have Kalish on the Sox. I am also a huge fan of Cecchini, would be nice to see him come over to the White Sox.

Now the Marlins are saying they want to trade Hanley.

Red Sox asked on Danks, Floyd. At this point, unlikely there's a match.

Bosox said to be talking to Chisox about Gavin Floyd today. It's known Orioles, Gavin's hometown team, also among those interested in Gavin

 

Now the Marlins are saying they want to trade Hanley.

 

Ozzie has a mess on his hands..

Those guys are just a disaster down there. Perfect for Ozzie.

 

They go and trade for Reyes and say he is the shortstop, without even seeing if Ramirez would be an ass about it (which most people would have predicted he would be). They are looking to go to a $100M payroll, banking on a new stadium, while their fan base is laughably weak and unreliable. It will be interesting to see how ugly things get for them in 2-3 years.

And when it gets bad, Ozzie will quit again.

to Hanley's credit - the Marlins are dips***s for signing a WORSE player to play SS than the one they already have. If I'm Hanley I'm pissed too.

Good for him. Good for him.
